Nene Macdonald puts up his entry for try of the year contender

Dragons winger Nene Macdonald has submitted his entry for the try of the year, with a spectacular effort in the left corner in the St George Illawarra Dragons' comeback victory over the Cronulla Sharks on Thursday night.

It was a cross kick from five-eighth Gareth Widdop that saw Macdonald fly high, catch the ball and miraculously put it down before he went into touch.

The effort, which you can watch in the player above, had Channel Nine commentator Phil Gould astounded.

"That is extraordinary. That is brilliant," Gould gushed in commentary.

The good folks of Twitter were equally impressed with the Dragons player's physics-defying effort, quick to label it a try of the year contender.
